    We were extremely grateful to Clarkes for all their help and support and organising of Mums Funeral. Great service and friendly staff. Thank you all from myself and family circle.

  • 5 Anne McCullough 9th Apr 2021

    Paul's death was unexpected and traumatic for myself and the family. We had used the services of Clark's 5 months previously following my father's death. Therefore, the process of involving undertakers and the expectations involved were less daunting.

    It was undoubtedly such a sad time but made easier knowing that Clarks could take control and provide support when needed

    My Brother and I were very happy with the funeral service provided by S clarke and Son for my late Father. The whole service was performed with dignity and sensitivity which helped both of us through a very difficult time.


  • 5 Dianne Connell 5th Dec 2020

    I have used Clarke’s in Bangor previously, and once again the level of service, professionalism and subtlety was second to none. The team excel at guiding you through this difficult process step by step, gently and steadily as circumstances naturally dictate. They are a pleasure to work with and to have assisting during what are clearly difficult times. 
    A special mention to Lee, who as a face to face contact for the last few days was particularly a huge comfort to the whole family. His understanding, professionalism and courteousness was matched by his empathy, and as a family we can only thank you for your help. 

  • 3 Marion Reynolds 5th Dec 2020

    I think during Covid it is very hard to rate as there is less personal contact with the undertakers and greater reliance on email and telephone discussion, which is unlike  my previous contact with Funeral Services.
